Is there any additional footage/info on the actual release? Why didn't you guys go in detail on Orlando's murder like you did Poochie? That should be included.
Also, could you explain the Nation of Islam altercation with Bad Boy more? I didn't understand that part. Why would the NOI have beef with Bad Boy for "disrespecting the brothers in the East" when Bad Boy is on the East Coast?
We do explain that Orlando died in a shootout while collecting a drug debt, show the location, and show a couple of photos from the scene - I think that's slightly more than what we showed about Poochie's death.
I don't know too much more about the Nation of Islam situation with Bad Boy - I think the reference to the East Coast was that it had something to do with Bad Boy and the Nation of Islam back in NY.
I have one theory -and this is totally speculative on my part - that the "Nation of Islam-looking guy" who approached Eugene Deal outside of the Petersen may have been connected to that. It was the next night and he could have just been throwing a little extra intimidation at them in connection with whatever that beef was, not knowing that there was a shooter down the block. It was just a coincidence. On the other hand - and I know I've strayed from your original question - Deal's opinion was that the guy wasn't really Nation of Islam based on how he was acting, and there were incidents around that time of gang members dressing up like Nation of Islam while committing crimes. But that's all speculative - there wasn't any hard evidence for any of that, so we didn't include it in the film.
